Winter Cow Feeding

The German formula for daily winter
ration for q COW giving milk is twenty
pounds Of dry organic food, Of which tif
teen pounds should be digestible, contain
ing OF nitrogenous matter two and one
half pounds. and carbonaceous twelve and
one half pounds, or the heterogeneous to the
clrbonaceous as ore to five. They tell us
that they may feed with profit hay, fodder
corn, corn stalks, straw, corn, oats, bar
ley, wheat bran, shorts, bee,s, carrots, pc.
tatoes in fact. everything that grows on
the farm; but they should be SO combined
in feeding as to contain the desired
amount of digestibe nutrients in nearly
the proportion named. Thirty pounds OF
timothy hay, which is about the amonnt
that COW is supposed to eat, when fed
alone, contains eleven to twelve pounds
of digestible food. Of which one and one !.
fourth pounds will be heterogeneous aud ten
pounds carbonaceous So hay alone will
not furnish full milk ration. 1t is claim
ed by q newspaper correspondent, who
visited the Darlington farm where $50
COWS are kept for butter, that their daily
rations were eight pounds corn meal; eight
pounds bran, and eight pounds cut hay
mixed and fed together This would very
nearly correspond TO the German ration,
but cheaper ration, and one equally we'll
balanced. was used by Professor Henry in
some experiments last winter. 1t consists
OF sixteen pounds hay, seven pounds
wheat bran ard five pounds Of corn meal.

Mr.. Dickinson is a naturalist and a

several years ago that owls needed en-
couragcment to nest on his place, and
consequently he made arrangements to
encourage them by providing them with
snug quarters. Finding hollow limb

and closed each of the cylinders with
rough bark, and made a neat round hole
III one side of each cylinder. Seven Of
these rustic bird houses were firmly
fixed IN the crntchcS of tree near the
rive: bank, and during the ensuing
spring four of the seven were occupied bv
owls and their broods. In the follow
ing year six of the seven houses were
engaged early in the spring, and Ny.
Dickinson put up five more houses.
This spring he had eleven broods OF
young owls, and when the writerreccnt-

haH GoZca young owls pcrching on

1t was feeding time, and taking

meat into shrels, using heavy knife
Oh the ohoppinS block. At the first
stroke Of the knife all the owlets flut-
tered down to the block, and he had to
exercise caution to prevent cutting off
their toes as they scrambled for the raw
meat. All of these owls are doomed to
take natural attitudes on short branches
of g!mwood, with wire vertebrie and
yellow glass eyes. He has orders for
owls at all seasons of the year, and
likes to he prepared for them. Some
times he stuf1s them while they are
mere balls Of down, but usually he
waits until they are in full plumage.

A Grand Record.

We call your attention to the advertisement OF
q remedy which has stood the test of more than
a half century with increasing popularity and is
universally admitted to have no equal as med
icine for tho cure of diseases originating in O
disordered Liver, such as Dyspepsia, Biliousness,
Constipation, Collie, etc. Simmons Liver Regu-
lator Is q simple and harmless medicine, purely
vegetable, and can be safely and advantageously
used under any circumstances. 1t acts mildly
and effectually and is especially valuable as q
Family Medicine, which position 1t holds In SO
many homes We do not know another prepara-
ton which can bring forward such Inducements
from heads Of families and those holding the
highest official and social positions. Keep Sim
mons Liver Regulator ia your house, IL will re-
duce your Doctors bill and insure for your fam
lilies health and happiness.
1t is not to be wondered at that so popular and
meritorious medicine should be counterfeited.
Tho medicine they cannot initiate, but they
copy Its exterior, general appearance and use
names so suggestive OF Simmons Liver Regula-
tor as to catch the unwary. Don't risk your
health, perhaps life, by not exercising proper dis
elimination in buying. Be sure you are right.
Look and see that you get the Genuine which
has always the Trade Mark in red on the front
of Wrapper and the signature of j. II. Zeilin &
Co., on its side.
